An Evaluation of the Grade Improvement Materials, "Where There's a Will There's an A."

Weber, Larry; Sherman, Thomas M.

Evaluation Practice, v14 n2 p127-31 Jun 1993

The grade improvement program "Where There's a Will There's an A" was evaluated with 36 experimental and 37 control group undergraduates. The approach and content of the evaluated materials appear inconsistent with the body of research on academic improvement, and study results do not indicate any improved achievement. (SLD)
